The correct answer is: A. Myofibrils contain thick and thin filaments.

Skeletal muscle cells are called muscle fibers because of their long and cylindrical shape. The plasma membrane of muscle fibers is sarcolemma, the cytoplasm is sarcoplasm, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Sarcoplasmic reticulum is specialized becaused it is involved in the process of contraction, so it stores, releases, and retrieves calcium ions.  

The functional unit of a skeletal muscle fiber is the sarcomere which consists of highly organized contractile myofilaments actin that are thin filaments and myosin (thick filaments), together with other support proteins.

Answer:

450 kilocalories.

Explanation:

Since only 1/10th of the energy that an organism consumes is passed onto the next level of the pyramid, that would mean only 500/10 = 50 kilocalories are passed on, and the remaining 500 - 50 = 450 kilocalories are used up.

Hope this helped!

Luda [366]
Hey there!

There are different types of nerves. Some of them are sensory nerves like the ones in your hands and feet, and some complete other functions. However, they all originate from somewhere.

Cranial nerves originate from the brain itself, and spinal nerves come from the spinal cord. Damaging any can cause serious injury like death and paralysis. There are 12 cranial nerves in the nervous system, and 10 out of 12 originate in the brain stem.

Hope this helps!
